Determination of serum aflatoxin B 1 -lysine to evaluate the efficacy of an aflatoxin-adsorbing feed additive in pigs fed an aflatoxin B 1 -contaminated diet

In this study, serum aflatoxin B (AFB )-lysine was determined in order to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of a hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) in pigs fed AFB . Twenty-four 49-day-old crossbred barrows were maintained in individual cages and allowed ad libitum access to feed and water....

Description
Summary:In this study, serum aflatoxin B (AFB )-lysine was determined in order to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of a hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) in pigs fed AFB . Twenty-four 49-day-old crossbred barrows were maintained in individual cages and allowed ad libitum access to feed and water. A completely randomized design was used with six animals assigned to each of four dietary treatments for 21 days as follows: (A) basal diet (BD), (B) BD supplemented with 0.5 % HSCAS, (C) BD supplemented with 1.1 mg/kg AFB , and (D) BD supplemented with 0.5 % HSCAS and 1.1 mg/kg AFB . HSCAS was able to alleviate the toxic effects of AFB on pigs and reduce (P
